@MetacriticCap@fchollet Fair enough - you’re right. I was using paid-click growth as a proxy for query growth.
Bringing it back to OP's claim: 61% query growth alongside only ~11% paid-click growth would imply a 31% collapse in monetization rate in just two years. Implausible.
Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity. https://t.co/77nQRF8kp6
